Another Washtenaw County resident has died and three more were hospitalized according to COVID-19 data updated Wednesday afternoon by the Washtenaw County Health Department.
111 Washtenaw County residents have died. 415 people have been hospitalized.
There were 32 lab-confirmed cases, bringing the total to 2,036. 32 more residents have recovered, bringing that total to 1,690.
Three of the new lab-confirmed cases were in Saline's 48176 zip code, bringing the total to 135.
The State of Michigan reported two new deaths, bringing the total to 6,172. There were 996 new lab-confirmed cases, which included 300 that are attributable to older lab results.
Overcast, with a high of 77 and low of 56 degrees. Overcast in the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
